quick electrical question. please help

[kreator34]

so, this is 'your new place'. What is it, exactly? An office space? I can't make much from the photos and your descriptions. It's hard to say if you have enough to do a grow. If indeed all you have is the fuse box in the third photo then you got nothing to work with

kreator34 Reviewed by kreator34 on 07-02-2013. quick electrical question. please help so today i called the department of water and power to turn on the power for my new place, but since it zoned in the business side they asked a shit load of question. long sorry short the guy on the phone was asking me what i would be running, i didnt want to tell him i would be running 4 x 1000w lights to grow herb duh. so the quickest thing that came to mind i said i was having a 2 or 3 ton a/c installed. he quickly said that would be to much power as i only have a 110v 1 phase meter. he said Rating: 5

Costco sells solar panels.

That, and a quiet generator for the evening supplemental might get ya through.
You'll need one helluva yield to break even though.

Feelin' any less sad?

Good luck,

here's the quick and best answer. Call an electrical contractor and tell 'em your opening a spa with (4) 1000 watt tanning booths, etc, etc. and see if you have enough capacity. If no, ask him or her what you need to do. We can't tell you anything from those fuzzy, dark photos of nothing, let alone know if it's 'connected' or not. So very, very sorry. Now I'm sad too.

Howzit, Shove?

There ya go, gettin' all pragmatic.
It's the best advice.
But it's got no pizzaz!

Now, if you were to purchase a used volvo, rip out the engine, rig a series of pulleys to 10 alternators, then run the 120V DC through an inverter . . .
Much mo' fun than doing it right, yah?

Jus' trin' to cheer a brudder up.
